Any ideas? Thanks!
I don't know about Machinist or Factory Girl. Basically, here's the
deal:
If those libraries use require instead of load, you are screwed.
Same goes for autoload'ing.
Yep. You might want to check out Spork[1]. It is a drop-in
replacement for spec_server that uses Kernel.fork instead of
reloading classes to ensure a clean app state. My coworker, Tim
Harper, wrote it and it has been working great for us so far.
(There is a little setup, so not quite drop-in but it just works with
the --drb flag for rspec.)

That's absolutely awesome.
Have there been any attempts to generalize this, so that mongrel will
fork on each request (a la shotgun)? (I'm still stuck on rails 2.0.2,
so a non-rack based reloading scheme would be great).
Well, so Spork was really created with testing in mind. It is more
general purpose than spec_server though. You can use it with any Ruby
project, not just Rails. You can also potentially use it with any other
testing framework that adds support for it (I've been meaning to do this
for Cucumber). I know that Tim's original work with Kernel.fork was
actually dealing with Mongrel but I'm not sure what the exact details of
it are. I'll try to find out for you though.
